SHARON — A gray overcast day did not dampen the spirits of athletes and onlookers waiting at Mudge Pond for the 2011 Sharon Sprint Triathlon to begin on Saturday, June 25.
Eighty athletes came from Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Idaho and the District of Columbia. Temperatures were in the mid 60s, with calm winds.
The triathlon consists of three parts: a half-mile swim in Mudge Pond, a 12-mile bicycle ride and a running route of slightly less than 4 miles.
The winner was Francesc Lopez, 33, from New Haven, Conn., with an overall time of 1:19:00.

LIME ROCK— Tiny cars in a rainbow of colors dotted the upper auto-cross .2 mile track at Lime Rock Park, some so low to the ground you could swear they would scrape.
It’s hard to believe there was a person somewhere inside each of those cars. The only hint was the helmeted heads poking over the tops, glistening in the sun.
